Real Motorsport has now stepped in and hopes racing will restart in spring.

Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council said it was "guardedly optimistic" a compromise between residents and the track could be found.

I'll never understand how someone can move next to a race track and complain about noise. Fucking idiots.

Noise restrictions had been in place for a long time which Mallory continued to ignore, it then got bought out, and had a business model which revolved around them using the track for more than their agreement allowed.

They was already over the agreed level but it was ignored, when they took the piss, the agreement was enforced to the word.

Simply, got given an inch, and took a mile and didn't get away with it.

No sympathy for poor business practice.

Fair enough then!

Hope is not a strategy.

One of the guys behind Real Motorsport is Hawk Racing team (BSB Buildbase BMW) owner Stuart Hicken, the other is ex racer Eddie Roberts. Don't know if this will be of benefit to Mallory or not.

Apparently the local council is being more flexible and are talking about allowing 128 days of use this time round, subject to NIMBY approval probably.

The same NIMBY's that just got it shut down, and likely saw the value of their homes shoot up?

That's the ones. Think the council will be weighing up the views of the whiny locals against the (apparent) 145 full time jobs and benefits of over £10m revenue into the local economy.
